Hi All,
My autonomous flying project using the g1 is moving along well. For those
who have not heard about it go to:
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Autonomous_Flying_Platform
I can now construct a serial interface to the g1 which I can then use to
control servos which will then cause propellers to turn. I have seen blimps
that have only one propeller. Most use 2 propellers however. Any advice on
which way to go? I want to save money/weight so one would be better in my
mind, but let me know your ideas. I need help designing the interface to
these propellers from a circuit diagram point of view. Can anyone assist?
I want to use off the shelf components as much as possible to make this
easy for lamens. Someone said to use a parallelax board. Not sure which
one is the best one just yet. Anyway let me know! Based on my weight
requirements of 6.2 ounces I can use a 7 dollar blimp balloon to do this!
Anyway, are there any propellers/servos at noisebridge I could use in this
project or what do you recommend I purchase?
-Tim
P.S.
Anyone have a g1 I can prototype with on occasion? I would need to load the
image that allows for serial communication however.
